I have an iPhone and I love it but those numbers are way too aggressive.
- One carrier strategy scares away some customers.
- Price, price, price. Apple isn't going to want to dig into their iPod sales too heavily by slashing the iPhone price too quickly.
- Expect more solid competition to appear in the next 12 months.
I think the iPhone is one of the best products I have purchased recently (even despite the obnoxious price points) but the carrier choice, unnecessary capabilities, and price are just too much for most people to overcome. It's a great phone if you want full internet access, email, calendar, iPod, etc. but there aren't that many people willing to pay that much for a phone.
